Students who participated in the virtual Research Experience for Undergraduates at Purdue reported stronger gains in research skills than in-person summer interns.
While headlines focus on Harvard and Columbia, state universities train far more STEM students, power the nation’s research engine and have fewer resources to weather sweeping cuts.
The answer is part history, part engineering and part economics.
The world’s huge investment in AI relies on some big assumptions.
Parents and policymakers want job security for graduates, but in the AI and automation era, careers may depend as much on curiosity and initiative as on credentials.
A new breakthrough that enhances cutting-tool performance won’t just benefit manufacturers — it’s a significant leap forward in materials science.
